Eagles Defeat Chiefs 3-1
Nic Pierog scored twice to lead the Surrey Eagles to a 3-1 victory over the Chilliwack Chiefs in the Birds final pre-season game at home.
The Eagles fell behind in the first period when Ben Masella opened the scoring for Chilliwack with a slap shot from the point that beat Surrey net minder Edward Dyson. But the Eagles answered back in the late stages of the opening frame when Demico Hannoun scored a power play marker, going top shelf from the slot on Chiefs goaltender Mitch Gillam.
Surrey took the lead in the second period while down a man when newcomer Chris Tracy intercepted a Chilliwack breakout pass and fired a shot on goal. Pierog followed up and shovelled the rebound past Gillam for the shorthanded marker. Dyson had to come up big for Surrey late in the middle frame when Chilliwack defenseman Alex Perron-Fontaine jumped out of the penalty box and received a stretch pass, sending him in all alone on Dyson. But the 20-year-old was up to the challenge, stopped Perron-Fontaine with the right pad to keep Surrey ahead after 40 minutes.
For the second game in a row, the Birds would clinch the victory with an empty netter as Pierog tucked the puck into an open cage with just five seconds remaining in the game to give the Eagles their third win of the pre-season.
With the victory, Surrey improves to 3-1-1 in exhibition play and will play their final game of the pre-season on Saturday evening in Chilliwack. The face-off goes at 7pm at the Prospera Centre.

Pre-Game Report: Eagles vs. Chiefs
The Surrey Eagles will play the fifth game of their six game exhibition campaign tonight when they host the Chilliwack Chiefs at the South Surrey Arena.
The Eagles are 2-1-1 so far in the pre-season while the Chiefs are 1-1-1 having beaten Merritt while losing and tying two games against Coquitlam.
Eagles Players To Watch:
Chris Tracy: The 20-year-old was released by Langley but has been given a second chance in Surrey. Tracy scored 15 goals for the Rivermen last season -- more than any returning Eagles player had last year.
Devon Toews: The second year defenseman, who has committed to Quinnipiac, has been turning heads throughout camp and in the exhibition season. Toews is looking to improve on a 29 point season on the blue line last year and could be one of the top defensemen in the BCHL this season.
Edward Dyson: The veteran goaltender enters his final season of junior hockey with only one BCHL game under his belt. The Port Alberni native spent the last two seasons playing for Dawson Creek of the NAHL but is expected to play a significant role between the pipes for the Eagles this season.
Puck drop: 7pm at the South Surrey Arena.

Eagles Down Express 4-2
The goals came fast and furious in the first period with the Express opening the scoring 6:32 into the game when Zack Pryzbek knocked home a rebound in the slot. The Eagles answered back just over four minutes later when Trevor Cameron walked out of the left corner and fed Beau Orser at the right post, and Orser tucked it past Coquitlam goaltender Cole Huggins to even the score. Surrey took the lead at the 13:40 mark after a beautiful tic-tac-toe passing play between Drew Best and Devon Toews resulted in Brandon Morley walking into the slot uncontested and beating Huggins between the legs. But before the period was out, young Coquitlam forward Mathew Barzal tied it up at 2-2 with a slick wrist shot that beat Eagles goaltender Glenn Ferguson through the five hole.
Trevor Cameron scored the lone goal in the middle frame at 9:44 after his long shot from the top of the circle took a weird bounce off the end boards and ricocheted back to him in the crease with a wide open cage in front of him. Colton Mackie would seal the deal in the late stages of the third period, after the Express had pulled Huggins in favour of a sixth skater, when he fired a slap shot from the opposite side of centre right into the top corner of the net.
Scoring Summary:
1st Period:
Coquitlam Express at 6:32 - #11 Zack Pryzbek from #16 Mathew Barzal.

Pre-Game Report: Eagles vs. Express
Tonight, the Surrey Eagles host the Coquitlam Express in their fourth game of the 2012 pre-season. The Birds are 1-1-1 through their first three games in exhibition play.
Surrey's last game was a 4-4 tie with Coquitlam on Sunday afternoon at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. Since then, the Express have played two games, losing 7-4 to Langley on Monday before defeating Chilliwack 5-4 on Tuesday.
The Eagles and Express split their season series last year, both finishing with records of 3-2-1-1.
Eagles Players To Watch:
Luke Dietsch: The 18-year-old from Minnesota was playing for the Langley Rivermen last week and actually suited up against the Eagles in the first pre-season game of the year. While the Rivermen decided to part ways with the young forward, Matt Erhart and his staff saw something they liked and added Dietsch to their training camp roster.
Demico Hannoun: Hannoun returns for his second season with Eagles. The 16-year-old put up 26 points in 49 games last year and is poised to have a break-out season as he's already been a major offensive contributor in the first three exhibition games.
Brett Seldon: The Ontario native was acquired from North York of the OJHL the week before training camp. At 6'2 and 195 pounds, he's part of an Eagles defensive core that has greatly increased in size from last season.
Puck drop: 7pm at the South Surrey Arena.
